Another Moro-Kamp.

I just received this beauty.

It has a very nice old glossy patin, and it still has all the original pegs in the handle were the hair was attached in the early days.

Also the blade has very nice laminations but probably re-shaped at the tip (not recently done in my eyes), it has a "cool" lamination on it

. It is also hardened from the cutting edge to the middle of the blade.

Any comments would be welcome!

Regards,
Maurice

A lovely looking sword Maurice.
I agree the 'handled' patina on the woodwork is particularly attractive.

That's beautiful. Love the laminations in the blade.

Thanks Gene!

Steve, here two more pics of the lamination. However in some way I am not able getting better pictures of the blade lamination.

Agreed on the beautiful lamenations! I've an old Sulu kris with much the same lamination although the lamination has separated at the tip. I'd once heard that you could calculate the age of an old nickel/iron mix cause they tended to separate after 200 years. Can't remember where I heard it and no idea if there is any truth to that?
